The simplest scenario would just involve the use of an un= altered, existing pcb layout file that serves as a collection of useful foo= tprint elements.

Those managin= g multiple users or seeking a more organised library, may opt to create cus= tom pcb layout files populated with a standard set of elements for use by u= sers.

pcb-rnd will parse= any valid layout and simply list the elements it contains either way.

Cheers,

Erich,

Does that mean default .pcb files, not special ones with embedded mode?
Sounds good for reuse, and good for version control too.
